Mysuru: Pressure on State-run K.R. Hospital will soon be a thing of the past as the District Hospital is coming up on KRS Road and is scheduled to be inaugurated in March 2019. Mysuru does not have a District Hospital unlike other districts as K.R. Hospital and Cheluvamba Hospital are taking the load.
Established by the Wadiyars, so far the K.R. Hospital and Cheluvamba Hospital have been catering to patients from Mysuru, Chamarajanagar, H.D. Kote, Hunsur, Mandya and even Kodagu Districts. K.R. Hospital or ‘Doddaspathre’ as termed by the rural folk and Cheluvamba Hospital are the teaching hospitals attached to the Mysore Medical College and Research Institute (MMC&RI) under the Directorate of Medical Education.
